Arrow

I thought this would be even worse than the Flash show that was on sci-fi a few years back, pleasantly surprised. Couldn't imagine how anyone could do better with a arrow shooting superhero ...

It was the samsung but yeah I have seen windows ads everywhere on TV lately

Think the product placement was more cringe worthy than some of the lines. People need to take a lesson from Chuck!

Pleasantly surprised by the show. It has quickly moved to the top of my list when I have to go through a backlog of PVR'ed shows. Not going to lie, I'm also a little jealous of Oliver when he does those damn jumping pull ups, no homo.

Another decent episode, not sure how The Green Arrow (Lame!) is going to kill Jack Harkness, with him being immortal and all?!

As for product placement, that amused the hell out of me as Elementary last week had Sherlock clicking together a surface tablet and keyboard and then using Bing on his shiny Windows 8 interface to look something up.

I'm pretty impressed with the show so far, action choreography is top notch for the CW.

Thats prolly the best thing this show does, honestly the choreography is better than the fight scenes in TDKR

This, also I love the Isle flashbacks, fuck would watch spinoff show just for him geting trained by the Grand Master Ninja dude on the Isle.

This is my surprise show of the year. Who knew that a Green Arrow TV show following Smallville would be one of the shows I look forward to each week. We should be closing in on his training with the Asian dude soon.

The archer duel was pretty sweet. Just wish it had lasted longer. This also opens the door for Tommy to pick up his dads bow later on if they decide to go that way. Which I am thinking they need to because currently he seems like a waste of writing.

What's fucked up is that the show will probably get cancelled somehow before it gets a chance to grow it's legs. I learned not too long ago, that if you DVR something, it doesn't count as ratings at all. Which is pretty much all I do when I watch TV.

If Supernatural can survive 8 seasons with super low ratings and this is getting some of their best ratings ever I doubt it will be cancelled.

Hell, Smallville went 10 seasons and I bet they could have gone another 1 or 2 if Tom Welling would have wanted to stay. Also Supernatural was always supposed to end at 5 seasons but they were getting such good ratings they just kept going.

I want more John Barrowman though, I miss Torchwood.

I'm sure nothing you do, even if you did watch it, counts as ratings, unless you have a nielson box.

wow that was a fucking awesome episode. on the dubya fucking bee network? seriously? who woulda thunkit?? yeah im digging this. looks like the sis is on the prowl for some brother meat again. damn girl needs to be hosed down so she will stop eyeraping oliver. at one point it looked like the mom was checking him out. am i imagining this shit? i mean hes a buff good looking guy, but come on hes just a dude. these chicks act like they were the ones stuck alone on a desert island.

and yeah Oliver got his ass kicked. dunno why cops werent around by that back window too, and dunno how diggle found him and was able to sneak him off to hospital...... ok not gonna nitpick a great ep. cant wait til jan 9th when the last 4 episodes of the season continue.

There are 23 episodes, it got picked up for a full season back in Oct. So more than 4 eps to go.

This show is terrible but its entertaining as shit, im able to turn my brain off and just enjoy what they're doing so far. Not a big reader of the comics but Diggle needs to be made a character.

Honestly with them making Oliver the prime suspect as the "hood" kinda makes everything seem retarded when hes still going out every night getting the shit kicked out of him. Then he gets arrows all over his body and gets the shit kicked out of him and Merlin cant put any of it together... Shit show is amazing like Battleship

@Harshaw
thats sweet. you just made my day.

I think Merlin* knows exactly who it is and wasn't put off by Oliver claiming otherwise at all. The look he gave him at the dinner table when asking him what he thought of the vigilante suggested to me he knows exactly what he is doing. Why doesn't he just straight kill him? He's a supervillain, of course he's going to set elaborate traps and make him jump through hoops first!

Wonder why Father Queen didn't put Merlins name in the book though, especially if he is the big bad behind it all?

*(or however they spell it in the show, seen it differently in other threads)

I love this show but doesn't anyone get the feeling the talking scenes can turn into a porno scene very easily. They're always getting into each others faces and saying these incredibly cheesy shit.
Also why does Deathstroke only use a goddamn sword/knife? The regular soldiers have assault rifles.
